Question 1

Which is a primary function of the cardiovascular system during exercise?

Transport oxygen and nutrients to working muscles and remove waste products Store glycogen exclusively in bone marrow for anaerobic sprints Produce insulin to raise blood glucose during rest only Filter air and exchange gases only in the nasal cavity

Correct Answer:

Transport oxygen and nutrients to working muscles and remove waste products

Question 2

Which short-term response correctly describes the heart during moderate continuous exercise?

Heart rate falls while stroke volume and cardiac output both fall to zero Heart rate and stroke volume increase, raising cardiac output Only resting heart rate decreases immediately at the first pedal stroke Cardiac output stays fixed because blood volume cannot leave the liver

Correct Answer:

Heart rate and stroke volume increase, raising cardiac output

Question 3

Vasodilation in active muscles during exercise mainly helps by:

Permanently hardening arteries to stop any future blood flow Blocking venous return so lactic acid cannot leave the muscle Increasing local blood flow so more oxygen reaches working tissue Cooling only the brain while starving the limbs of blood

Correct Answer:

Increasing local blood flow so more oxygen reaches working tissue

Question 4

Which set lists short-term cardiorespiratory responses to exercise?

Permanent loss of all alveoli and zero oxygen diffusion Only a decrease in breathing rate with no change in tidal volume Complete shutdown of the diaphragm for the whole session Increased breathing rate, tidal volume and minute ventilation

Correct Answer:

Increased breathing rate, tidal volume and minute ventilation

Question 5

A long-term effect of endurance training on the heart is cardiac hypertrophy. What does this mainly enable?

Greater stroke volume and cardiac output at a given intensity, with a lower resting heart rate A permanently higher resting heart rate with zero stroke volume Complete replacement of cardiac muscle by lung tissue Loss of all red blood cells so oxygen transport stops

Correct Answer:

Greater stroke volume and cardiac output at a given intensity, with a lower resting heart rate
